So, this isn't my first time being here, I've learned. I'm still wrapping my head around the whole thing but there's a few of you that know me and I don't know anything about you except what I've learned in the last few weeks.

You all probably know more about me than I know about you and that's weird. Nothing I can do about it but it's weird all the same. I half want to make lists of what you know about me so I can compare and contrast. I'm not going to though. You guys deserve to keep those memories of him — me — for yourselves.

Sorry that I'm not him, though.

Anyway, I'm not smart enough to really have an explanation on why this happened. I don't know if I was here and had my memories wiped and then got sent back. Pretty clear that messing with heads is pretty normal here and it wouldn't be a stretch where I come from either. But is there a way to test for that without cracking my head open?

Or I could be totally different person which just gets into science stuff that's above my pay grade. But I can't rule it out. Two of me. No one wants that, though. I don't know which explanation I really prefer either.

I need a drink.

[ for a few reasons. it feels like he's been barely hanging on for awhile now and this whole side trip to a futuristic society was really testing his ability to stay afloat. ]

Where's a good place to get a drink?

[ oh marcos. at least your world ended before its convoluted nature got the better of it. ]

Most just climb the walls. Its hard to sneak past the Thor Guard and SHIELD though.

[ we could have had it all. ]

Sounds like you come from a pretty fortified place. Because of these Domain things or something else?

[ He tries to think of how to even begin explaining this to someone who has no idea what any of his world is like. ]

I think the word people used was "countries". Domains are like countries.

Except instead of going from one place to another, you go from one place and one time to another place and time?

[ maybe? they didn't exactly teach this in school. ]

Still one place. Just also that too.

[ battleworld geography is a nightmare to learn. ]

I'd hate to see what your globes look like.

[ but maybe he understands a little more now. ]

Never met another version of yourself?

I think we're more a lopsided oval than an actual globe.
And nope. Pretty sure he's out there but I stick to the Monarchy and its problems.

You ever think about what you'd say to him if you could meet him once?

Not really. He's not me and I don't know his life. I mean, if he was human or something I'd probably want to know how that's working out for him.

You're not human?

[ you couldn't really type something like that and not expect him to pick up on it, tommy. ]

[ He doesn't even think much about it. It's a little discombobulating when he realizes that the people aren't him aren't. ]

Nope. Not that there's anything wrong with being one, but I'm a mutant.

[ huh. ]

So am I.

[ just because his ability was gone didn't mean the x gene had been removed. nothing wrong with humans but he couldn't think of himself as one after so long. ]

seriously? that's great!
not that it wouldn't be great if you weren't, but
that brings us to a whopping three mutants in total.

Yeah, seriously.

[ wasn't exactly planning on telling that to the entire network but it wasn't a secret either. he didn't get any kind of purifier vibe from these people, at least.

many points in their favor. ]

No trouble here because of the mutant thing?

no trouble so far. plus we're all kind of powered now even if its not the x-gene doing it. even if powers are kind of understood to need o be under wraps.
but full disclosure, i haven't lived the mutant discrimination experience

You're lucky.

[ that's all he'd been living. it's no one's fault that worlds are different but he still finds himself jealous and a little grumpy about it. ]

Guess it's good to know that some places have their act together. I don't think we'll ever make that happen.

My grandfather didn't think he'd live to see it, but he did. He made people listen to the plight of mutantkind and they did, and things got better.

[ just... at the expense of all the humans. ]

[ there was always a string attached, wasn't there? ]

No one's listening where I come from. Everyone's talking but no one listens. Makes progress hard.

yeah doesn't surprise me
i didn't live it. my mom, aunt and uncle did and living like that for so long does things to people
i'm sorry you have to

Yeah.
I probably wouldn't know what to do if things got better.
I'm so used to how it is now.
But yeah, it does things to people.

sorry man

[ if only the world could just be decent to everyone in it. ]
